Chapter 43 draws direct parallels between Sai Baba and other revered saints to emphasize his eternal and ever-present nature. The text poses the rhetorical question, 'Did Maharaj Gyanoba (Gyaneshwar) leave?' and immediately notes that he gave darshan three centuries after his passing. This example, along with mentions of Nath Maharaj, Tukaram Maharaj, and Samarth Ramdas, is used to frame Sai Baba within a lineage of great souls who transcend physical death. The chapter asserts that 'Sai is the same in Shirdi' as these other saints were in their respective holy places, reinforcing the idea that like them, Sai remains unbroken and accessible to devotees despite leaving his mortal coil.
The text mentions other saints. How is Sai Baba compared to figures like Gyaneshwar Maharaj?
